Arriving in Leesburg in 1962, Walter S. McLin, III introduced himself to Lake Countyâ€™s courtrooms as an associate in the law firm of Pringle & Davis. For several years, Walter practiced law with
Ranston Davis out of the historic Stoer Building on Main Street in downtown Leesburg. In 1965, Dewey Burnsed joined the growing firm, and in October of 1969, the firm was incorporated as, Davis,
McLin, Burnsed & Austin, P.A. In 1971 the Firm moved to itâ€™s own building at 1000 West Main Street where it still resides today. Over the years, as partners came and went, and the name of the
Firm reflected that, clients and the community referred to the Firm as simply, â€œMcLin, Burnsedâ€. Honoring that, in 2001, the Firm officially changed itâ€™s name to McLin & Burnsed P.A. As the city
of Leesburg and the surrounding areas matured into the busy cities and towns of the 21st century, the law firm grew to become Lake Countyâ€™s largest and most respected law firm. As General Counsel for
the City of Leesburg for over thirty years, and Lake Countyâ€™s School Board for twenty-five years, the attorneys of McLin & Burnsed, P.A. have played a vital role in helping the community shape
itâ€™s growth. Having represented The Villages of Lake-Sumter since 1985, the law firm has been an integral part of the maturity of a once sleepy retirement village into this countryâ€™s largest
single-site real estate development. In 1988, in order to better serve this Lady Lake community, the Firm opened an office in The Villages. The lawyers of McLin & Burnsed, P.A. are active in both
the legal and business communities. With two Members of the firm having served as president of the Lake County Bar Association, and others as committee members for both the Florida and American Bar
Associations, Firm attorneys have earned the respect of their peers, as well as their neighbors. In addition, Members serve on the governing boards of major financial, educational, health care and
civic institutions. The law firm is a founding member of The Florida Law Network, a group of independent law firms throughout the state that have combined their knowledge, resources and expertise for
the sole purpose of better serving their clients. Proud of its rich history, the law firm continues to encourage its members to be active in their communities and to honor their responsibilities to
both the legal profession and the clients they represent. By serving on the boards of, and participating in projects for, organizations like the Boys and Girls Club of Lake & Sumter Counties,
Habitat for Humanity and Hospice of Lake County, the firmâ€™s attorneys work each day to realize this commitment. Going beyond community involvement, the Firmâ€™s lawyers are respected advocates whose
educational and professional credentials are excellent. Four of the senior attorneys hold the highest legal expertise rating granted by lawyers to other lawyers. For unparalleled client service and
representation, the law firm of McLin & Burnsed P.A., serving the area for over forty years, is a wise choice.
